Christian Hoff Praises Des McAnuff at Ceremony
February 9th, 2007On his blog, Christian Hoff provides photos and a story about the recent San Diego Theatre Critics Circle’s 2006 Craig Noel Awards, held January 29, 2007, at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla that honored Des McAnuff.
McAnuff not only won an award for his direction of the musical The Wiz, but he was given a special Artistic Visionary Award for his work in propelling the Playhouse to national prominence.
Capping off the tribute to Des was a speech and song by Tony Award-winner Christian Hoff, a longtime San Diegan who McAnuff first mentored in The Who’s Tommy. Christian, who took a brief break from Jersey Boys to attend the ceremony, praised McAnuff for the impact the director has had on his career.
